Part II:

Infographic Proposal- please submit in Edmodo
After looking at different infographics you should have a better idea about what they are and how information can be presented to a viewer. Your task is to make your own infographic that displays information about you. What you choose to display is your choice, it could be a highlight reel of the past year or a particular event of your life. Prior to starting you must submit a proposal with a clear idea that includes the following…

What 5 facts will you include in your infographic?
What will your color scheme be? (No more than 5 colors)
What fonts will you use? (No more than 4 fonts)
What Art Elements will you use to break apart the information?
What 3 graphics will you design from scratch?
How will you present the information to the viewer?

Part III:

You are going to use Adobe Illustrator to create an infographic that represents you in some way. It can be a timeline of your whole life or a highlight reel of your past year. You could also make your infographic about a particular event that has happened in your life or a simple resume.

Decide on the information about yourself that you would like to share with the class.
Objectives:
  • Include at least 5 facts about yourself within the infographic
  • Topic & information presented are clear to the viewer (information provided is about you in some way)
  • All graphics are related to the topic and facts and make understanding the information easier
  • All graphics are created by the student (INCLUDE AT LEAST 3)
  • The use of the art elements and principles of design help to grab the viewers’ attention
  • All text is legible and free of grammatical errors

Create a new document in Adobe Illustrator that is 11x17” landscape or portrait and title it “PD#+LASTNAME+Infographic” and get started.

*You may not use any clip art from the internet, everything must be from scratch.*
*YOU MAY USE THE OSMO to redraw anything you need**
